Use iCloud Tabs

On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:

Open Safari.

Tap the Tabs icon.

Scroll to the bottom of the list, below the images of tabs open on your device. A list of open tabs on your other supported devices appear.

Tap the one you want to open.

On your Mac:

In the Safari toolbar, click the Tabs button. A list of open tabs from your other supported devices appears at the bottom of the Safari window.

Click the tab you want to open.

iCloud Tabs shows only the tabs that are open on your other supported devices, not the tabs that are open on the device you're currently using.

To remove a tab from the iCloud Tabs list, close that tab in Safari on the device that shared the tab, or from the Tabs window.

To remove a tab that's open on a different device than the one you're using, click X next to the tab listing. In macOS High Sierra, go to Safari > View > Show All Tabs. You'll see tables that represent your other devices or computers that are syncing Tabs. Hover the pointer over the Tab name and an X appears. You can click X to remove the tab on the remote device.

Quitting Safari, putting your device to sleep, or turning off your device doesn't remove a tab from the list.
